Hello, world!\n

I just released version 3.6.0 of the pciutils with huge thanks to everybody
who contributed.

>From the changelog:

	* Released as 3.6.0.

	* BARs reported by the OS, but not set on the device itself are
	  reliably marked with "[virtual]".

	* Library: Introduced a generic mechanism of string properties. This
	  avoids lots of special cases and makes ABI compatibility easier.

	* On Linux systems with OpenFirmware, report corresponding device tree nodes
	  as device properties.

	* VPD decoder knows several non-standard extensions.

	* When PCIe link speed is less than the maximum supported by the
	  device, it is explicitly marked as "downgraded".

	* Several new capabilities are not decoded yet, but at least their
	  names are printed.

	* The Null capability is easily decoded.

	* Formatting of several capabilities was cleaned up.

	* The VGA16 bit in the bridge control register is now supported.

	* Added a port to SylixOS. Thanks to YuJian Gong for contribution.

	* Added a port to DOS/DJGPP. Thanks to Rudolf Marek for contribution.

	* The order in which back-ends are probed was decoupled from the
	  internal back-end IDs. This helps, because new back-ends must have
	  their ID allocated at the end to keep the ABI, but they might need
	  to be proved earlier.

	* The fbsd-device back-end should work again.

	* Fixed a couple of bugs. Most notably, DeviceName was not printed.

	* As usually, updated pci.ids to the current snapshot of the database.

				Have a nice fortnight
